Thanks for an entertaining contest. There were 5 different contests
this weekend, which made it interesting.

Glad to work a couple, but sorry to miss the others. Not a good weekend for QRP I guess.

Was doing good till my Hy-Tower blew down in the wind storm.

Thanks for putting ID on the air!
K5IX

Well, I only had the afternoon on Saturday to do it this year, which was better than last year.
 I had a rehearsal last night and played at Church this morning and wasn't back in time to make contacts.
I thought I should do OK on a Saturday afternoon for four hours. Four contacts and only one from Idaho.
Tried 40 meters mostly, 20 got me an Oklahoma station, but 75, 15, and 10 were dead for me. ARGH!
Hopefully I will find more time next year.
Carl, NB7C

Had a great time, thank you to all!
VE7KPM

Good Fun!
Ben, K7MVA

On behalf of myself K7SU in Twin Falls, and the gang at the Magic Valley Amateur Radio club (MVARC)
including Jim W7OUU and Brent K2SAW, and AI7H in Post Falls (adviser), and KØIP from Pocatello (webmaster), .
we want to thank everyone who searched for and contacted Idaho stations in the 2020 IDQP, especially those submitting logs.
You're all winners!

Participation was fantastic!
We had 254 logs submitted which, as I understand it, are about twice as many as ever before.
Maybe everyone was staying in (at home) due to the virus and decided to get on the air. I don't know but I'm
glad for the participation. If my quick count is correct we had logs submitted from at least 45 states and 8 foreign countries.

For future reference for non-Idaho stations, count any new county as a multiplier.
For Idaho stations, you can only count one county as a multiplier per mode and the rest are valid contacts only.
Unless you are a rover and work from more than one county then the rules are different.
Don't be concerned about what your logger is computing. We will take care of you.

This is the first year that MVARC has sponsored the IDQP or anything like it. We are pleased to do our part in getting Idaho
on the air. Not an easy task. There just aren't many of us. Thanks to Ed AI7H, who has been doing the heavy lifting
for the past 10+ years of IDQP parties. He's helped us get all the T's crossed and I's dotted.

We've got some time to evaluate the party and consider some fun additions for next year.
Thank you all for participating. Please keep us in mind for next year's party.
Now, turn your radios on, enjoy this great hobby and make some "on air" friends!
